The clean technology (cleantech) sector has emerged as a major driver of innovation and employment growth in Canada. Analytica Advisors estimates that, as this industry grows to a projected $3 trillion by 2020, Canadian cleantech companies have the potential to increase their market share from today’s $9 billion to $60 billion, even though Canada currently captures just one per cent of today's $1 trillion global cleantech market. Canada currently places fifth for clean energy inventions, with its companies securing only two per cent of clean energy patents granted in the United States since 2002.

In Competing in Clean Energy we ask nearly two dozen clean energy entrepreneurs, executives, investors and academics about what Canada needs to compete in the global race for clean energy.
